MY IPOD NANO 6TH GEN. SHOWS IT IS CONNECTED IN ITUNES, BUT WHEN I ATTEMP TO SYNC MUSIC IT DISCONNECTS

My ipod nano 6th gen shows it is connected in itunes, but when I try to sync music it disconnects.Why?

Have you gone into Tones tab to check the box SYNC TONES?  Is your ringtone less than 40secs?

  • Got a refurbished iPod Nano 6th gen, and went to connect it to my PC,

    Got a refurbished iPod Nano 6th gen, and went to connect it to my PC, it said it was configured to Mac and went to restore it and install software. Now shows white screen with little computer icon and warning sign. won't reset

    By a reset, I assume you mean pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear?
    Can you try and force the Nano into Disk Mode and then connect it iTunes and restore it again?

  • IPod Nano 7th Gen says "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported" when trying to charge / sync

    iPod Nano 7th Gen says "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported" when trying to charge / sync with official apple lightening cable.
    It worked for almost a year then suddenly began to say that. My computer [windows], lightening cable and my power brick [all apple official] are all the same as they were when it was working. The iPod is almost a year old now, and has worked perfectly up until about a week ago.
    I have tried resetting the iPod, plugging it into different charging sources but it keeps saying "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported"
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    Your iPod Nano firmware and iTunes updated to the current versions? 
    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions. 

  • My iphone4s does not turn on,when I connect to power ,it shows the message "connect to itunes" but when I connect to iTunes,my pc does not detect my phone,so iTunes does not detect my iPhone.

    My iphone4s does not turn on,when I connect to power ,it shows the message "connect to itunes" but when I connect to iTunes,my pc does not detect my phone,so iTunes does not detect my iPhone.

    Are you running the most recent version of iTunes for Windows on your PC?  You may be running an older version that is incompatible with the 4s.
    Hope this helps

    when i turn on ipod it says it's disabled and connect to itunes.  When i connect to itunes it says ipod locked with pass code unlock before connecting, which i can't do.  Help!

    You need to manually place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore it in iTunes.  See this article for instructions on connecting your iPod to iTunes in recovery mode.

  • My ipod is saying its disabled and to connect to itunes but when i do it does nothing, what do i do??

    My ipod touch is saying its disabled and to connect to itunes but when i do that it does nothing, what can i do to fix it??

    If your iPod has been disabled due to multiple incorrect passcode attempts, restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

  • I had to pay to have Apple replace my iPod Nano (6th gen.). I connected it to my PC and a window came up saying something about needing to restore the iPod to work with Windows, so I hit "restore iPod".  iTunes will not recognize the iPod. Suggestions?

    I just bought an ipod touch 1st gen, the battery was totally dead, when it was charged enough to turn on I did a total restore. Now there is a picture of the usb cord with the itunes symbol above it. I assume the means it wants me to connect it to itunes but when I do it dosnt show up on the side bar in my itunes. I waited ten min. nothing. Right now I am chaging it using my ipads ac adapter. Please help

  • My Ipod nano 6th gen shows a white screen with sad face

    Hi
    My ipod nano is showing me a white screen with a sad face on it
    I tried to reset it but with no use, everytime it resets, it returns back to the sad face
    and itunes won't recognize the device
    this is a picture of the screen
    any help please

    While the nano is connected to your computer and iTunes is open, hold down the volume up, volume down and sleep/wake button at the same time until iTunes brings up a dialog then release the buttons.
    The dialog should walk you through 'recovering' the nano. See if that does it for you.
    Has it gotten wet?

  • My ipod nano 6th gen doesn't appear anymore in iTunes since firmware update.

    My IPod nano was upgraded to the firmware update to 1.2. 
    I've lost all my music on it during the firmware upgrade (not sure this is normal).
    I can't see it anymore in ITunes.  I got some windows blue screen when trying to solve the problem.
    I've tried to uninstall-reinstall all Apple products on my windows 7 (following the apple support, with bonjour, quicktime, ...).
    I've also tried to connect it on 2 other fresh windows machines, but it doesn't appear either ...
    I've tried with other software but impossible to use because the first libray must be created with iTunes.
    The iPod seems normal and the screen is reactive ... but I can't use it without any music on it.
    I've reset my ipod with no luck. Tried in disk mode also, .... what can I do more ?
    I cannot restore it because it's not visible in iTunes.
    Many thanks for your help !

  • How can I get my ipod nano (6th gen) to stop making a static-y noise when I try to listen to my music? It has been doing this for a week and the music is faint while the static is louder than it.

    It has been doing this for a week and the music is faint while the static is louder than it. I try plugging it in to my iTunes and when I un-plug it, it still makes the loud static noise. I have also tried tapping my knuckle on the back of my ipod nano. This has not damaged it at all nor caused this to my ipod. There is no water damage to the ipod. Only a few scratches from a couple drops. The drops have been on concrete but not at a very high distance. How to I stop this? Do I need to replace my ipod instead?

    Have you tried a different pair of earbuds/headphones to rule out a pair of damaged/faulty ones?  You might also want to make sure the headphones are securely and firmly seated in Nano's headphone jack.  Lastly, check the headphone jack for any signs of debris or damage.  You may need to have the headphone jack replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.
    I assume this static is present on any track you listen to versus only particular ones?

  • Ipod nano 6th gen not recognised at all in itunes or windows

    Nano was recognised as a device first two times i used it but now not recognised in itunes or in my computer as an ipod. Followed various help suggestions but no change. Does t need software restoring and if so how if not recognised in itunes?

    This problem now solved after a few hours browsing Apple help and other forums like this - tried connecting through usb ports at rear of computer instead of front and instantly itunes recognised it.  Odd since I can still connect my camera through front usb ports - the mystery of computers eh?  Anyone know how to fix front usb ports?
